阅读下列短文，从每题所给的所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Many nutrition experts say it's important to enjoy your favorite holiday foods rather than trying to skip them.But you can make better choices and still satisfy your cravings if you know where the sneaky sugars，sodium，and fat hide.Here，we take a closer look at a few popular foods you're likely to encounter this season to help you pick the right option for you.
Cranberry sauce vs Gravy
Choosing between these two turkey-toppers？Gravy is high in sodium （钠）（ about 340 mg per 1/4 cup）， but canned cranberry sauce packs 22 grams of added sugars — more than a slice of apple or pumpkin pie.And cranberry sauce has almost quadruple the calories of gravy.
Mashed potatoes vs Sweet potato casserole
Trying to pick a classic holiday side？Plain mashed potatoes （made with milk，butter，and a pinch of salt） are creamy but relatively moderate — about 160 calories and 60 mg of sodium per 1/2 cup.But sweet potato casserole，often loaded with brown sugar，marshmallows，and butter，cranks up the sugar to around 18 grams per serving （nearly half the daily added sugar limit） and pushes calories to 250 or more.
Spiral ham vs Roast beef
Spiral ham is lean — but it has nitrates （硝酸盐） and nitrites （亚硝酸盐），which，when they interact with protein，create compounds that may cause cancer.Plus，ham is high in sodium：990 mg.A lean cut of beef，like bottom round roast，has similar calories，less sodium，and no nitrates or nitrites.
Panettone vs Fruit cake
These traditional festival treats have similar calorie and sugar counts，and both contain dried fruit.But the colorful glacé （糖渍的） fruit often used in fruit cake is made with artificial dyes，including red#40，which will be banned by the end of 2026.Panettone typically doesn't have those.
21.Which of the following is a better pick，according to the article？
A. Cranberry sauce. B. Roast beef.
C. Fruit cake. D. Sweet potato casserole.
22.Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A. Sweet potato casserole contains less sugar than mashed potatoes.
B. Spiral ham is fat，and therefore considered unhealthy for people.
C. Fruit cakes contain artificial dyes and will be banned soon.
D. Although gravy is high in sodium，it contains fewer calories.
23.Where can you most probably find this article？
A. In an encyclopedia. B. In a consumer magazine.
C. In a scientific journal. D. In a textbook about nutrition.
B
If you love art then， "Picasso" is going to speak a lot，and modern art is a result of Picasso' s works and he stands by as one of the legendary figures to give birth to modern art.Pablo Picasso was a Spanish actor who was born on October 25，1881.Picasso wasn't just a painter of his time，he was an painter and his talent didn't just stop there.He was a sculptor，printmaker，stage designer，and ceramicist.Due to his amazing skills，he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields.
One of Pablo's amazing achievements was showing realism and the surrounding culture through his art.Picasso along with another painter Georges Braque gave cubism birth.Cubism was a very unique art representing realism.Cubism was inspired due to the circumstances of the early 20th century.
Picasso's immersion in art did not stop with cubism as he wanted to make something more inspirational and thus came into existence — Collage.Collage was a different kind of art in which Picasso mixed several signs and gave them a viable meaning.
Picasso received training from his father who himself was an art teacher and a painter as well. Just at the age of 16，Pablo had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and he desired to introduce something new.His exploration began when he joined the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. That is when he came to know about his dislikeness of the traditional ways. He began to experiment with different styles of art.
With time，Picasso's style continued to develop.He explored different grounds like still life.His work was bold and he always preferred to use innovative perspective.Picasso also did well in other forms of art.His most famous and politically charged work was "Guernica". He produced this in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town of Guernica suffered a horrifying bombing. To this day，his work is a representation of war horrors.
On April 8，1973，Picasso passed away in the city of Mougins，France. He left behind a legacy of art that is celebrated still to this day.

Here is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone can't make us tired.It sounds absurd.But a few years ago，scientists tried to find out how long the human could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue（疲劳）.To the amazement of these scientists，they discovered the blood passing through the brain，when it is active，shows no fatigue at all!If we took a drop of blood from a day labourer，we could find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素） and fatigue products.But if we took blood from the brain of Albert Einstein，it would show no fatigue toxing at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned，it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours f efforts as at the beginning.The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired.
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue come from our mental and emotional（情感的）attitudes.One of England's most outstanding scientists.J.A.Hadfield，says，"The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.In fact，fatigue of purely physical origin is rare." Dr.Brill，a famous American scientist，goes even further.He declares，"One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems."
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired？Joy？Satifaction？No!A feeling of being bored，anger，anxiety，tenseness，worry，a feeling of nt being appreciated---those are emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
28.What surprised the scientists a few years ago？
A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a labour's blood.
B. Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work.
C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.
D. A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
29.According to the author，which of the following can make sitting worker tired？
A. Challenge mental work. B. Unpleasant emotions.
C. Endless tasks. D. Physical labor.
30.What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' ideas？
A. He agrees with them. B. He doubts them
C. He argues against them. D. He hesitates to accept them.
31.We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energic，sitting workers need to ______ .
A. have some good blood B. enjoy their work
C. exercise regularly D. discover fatigue toxin
D
In his book on basketball great Bill Bradley，writer John McPhee proposes that Bradley's greatest asset had little to do with speed，strength，or flexibility.It had to do with his eyes.The work of University of Notre Dame researcher Matthew Robison suggests that McPhee may have been onto something.
In a recent study Robison documented a phenomenon in eye movement —that links a steady，focused gaze with higher levels of performance.He made the discovery thanks to the unique capabilities of his lab，which includes over a dozen advanced instruments for tracking eye movement.These devices capture images of the eyes every four milliseconds，providing 250 frames per second.This detailed look at the eyes allows Robi-son to "read" the complex language of minute eye movement.
Recently，though，Robison has been most interested not in why our eyes move，but in why we might —or might want to —keep them still.He was inspired to explore the meaning of a steady gaze by the work of applied sports psychologists helping athletes achieve high levels of performance.
"Sports psychologists regularly advise that if you're shooting a free throw in basketball，pick a spot on the edge and focus on it for a few seconds. Then shoot the free throw. The advice seems sound in many cases. But the causal pathway behind this phenomenon has not been thoroughly demonstrated or explained." Robison explains.
Robison assumed that a steady gaze had to do with attention control and better performance.T o test his assumption，he recruited（招募）nearly 400 participants. Robison found that across the board，those participants who kept their gaze steady in the moments just before being called upon to complete a task performed with greater speed and with greater accuracy.
His work suggested another question for Robison to explore：Would it be possible to train individuals to perform better by training them in developing a steadier gaze？So Robison launched a new three-year project focused on answering it.
32.What can be inferred about McPhee's observation of Bill Bradley？
A. It lacked scientific basis at the time.
B. It revolutionized basketball training.
C. It matched later scientific findings.
D. It contradicted traditional coaching methods.
33.What does the underlined word "minute" in paragraph 2 mean？
A. Time-related. B. Extremely small.
C. Carefully recorded. D. Scientifically important.
34.What is the Robison's attitude toward the sports psychology advice？
A. Indifferent due to lack of theoretical support.
B. Temporarily acceptable but requiring evidence.
C. Supportive without reservation.
D. Critical of its oversimplification.
35.Which would be the best title for the passage？
A. The Evolution of Basketball Training Techniques.
B. Eye Tracking Technology：From Theory to Practice.
C. The Science Behind a Steady Gaze and Peak Performance.
D. Bill Bradley：A Case Study in Athletic Excellence.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Here are a few things you need to know about my dad .First，he was a slightly impatient kind of a guy. If he wanted something done，he wanted it done NOW，if not sooner. Second，you need to know that Dad was an early riser. Every single day. No exceptions. No excuses. Work or no work. Holidays or vacation days，there was my father，up and ready to go. Oh，and you should know that Mom was a night owl，up late watching a late movie or a wrestling match.
One more thing about my dad. He was color-blind. That usually doesn't matter. And he was a fairly conservative kind of person. For instance，he bought our new home out in the country and objected immediately to the stucco（灰泥） being a pale peach color. Way too" flashy" for Dad. He hired a painter to cover up all that peach with a nice，not-flashy gray. Dad was fond of gray anyway.
And so，we arrived at the Saturday morning when Dad sprang out of bed as bright-eyed as ever，felt restless，and looked around for something that needed doing. Mom was sound asleep，as usual. My brother and I slept in a bit. There was nobody around to keep an eye on Dad and whatever he decided to do next.
So，Dad decided that the porch（门廊） on our newly gray house needed a fresh coat of paint. He headed off to the hardware store to get paint and painting supplies. He did not tell any of us. Nor did he invite any of us along.
We've never been sure what happened at the hardware store. Did he ask for advice？Did he study color samples？Did another shopper help him choose？Who knows？But we're all pretty sure that Dad had no clue what color he was painting the wooden porch. My brother and I woke up，wondered where Dad was，and went looking for him.

Last Friday witnessed our school's much-anticipated speech contest themed "How to Use DeepSeek to Enhance English Learning？"，which proved a great success.
The contest，aiming to explore AI's potential in language learning，attracted a large number of students.After initial selections，10 finalists took the stage，showcasing their profound insights with confidence.The contest unfolded in three parts：opening remarks by our principal，3-minute speeches by contestants，and a Q&A session with judges.What impressed the audience was the diversity of perspectives.One contestant shared how DeepSeek's personalized vocabulary lists boosted his memory，while another highlighted its role in simulating real-life conversations，a practice significantly improving her fluency.
The event received positive feedback from our students，who expressed it reshaped our attitude towards technology.We expected more of activities about cutting-edge technologies.
We froze in our tracks when we stepped outside.Before our eyes was the porch，painted a shocking bright pink!Dad was standing there，a paint - brush in hand，a big smile on his face.He seemed really proud of his work. "What do you think？" he asked excitedly.My brother and I just stared，speechless.We knew Mom would never approve of this color.But we also didn't want to break Dad's heart.After a moment，I forced a smile and said， "It's...unique，Dad."
Looking at the bright pink porch，we three exchanged looks，unsure how to break the news.Just then，Mom came out.Her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw the pink porch.Dad looked at her，his smile fading a bit. "Surprise!" he said weakly.Mom took a deep breath，and then to our surprise，she laughed. "Well，it's certainly different，" she said. "But I guess it shows your enthusiasm，dear." Dad's face lit up again，and we all laughed together.The bright pink porch became a funny story in our family from then on.
